1 - Introduction ΠEnvironmental considerations
Thank you for your purchase of the TASCAM CD-
01U/CD-01U Pro CD player.
Before connecting and using the unit, please take time to read this manual thoroughly to ensure you understand how to properly set up and connect the
In addition to this manual, the CD-01U/CD-01U Pro have been packed with the following:
≠ RC-01UC remote control unit
≠ 2 AAA batteries
≠ Power cord
≠ Rack-mounting kit
≠ Warranty document
CD-01U/CD-01U Pro, as well as the operation of its many useful and convenient functions. After you have finished reading this manual, please keep it in a safe place for future reference.
Should any of these items be missing, or if you encounter any damage, please contact your TASCAM supplier.
This unit was packed in its carton with special materials in order to prevent any damage during shipment.
Please save the carton and packing materials in the event you need to transport the unit in the future.
The CD-01U/CD-01U Pro may be used in most places, but to maintain top performance and prolong operating life, do not place it in the following locations.
≠ On an unsteady surface, or where there is frequent vibration or resonance
≠ Near a window or where it can be exposed to direct sunlight
Connect the CD-01U/CD-01U Pro only to the specified power source.
When unplugging the cord, grasp the plug itself.
≠ Near heating or air conditioning vents, or in very hot or cold places
≠ Places with high humidity or poor ventilation
≠ Next to tuners, televisions or video decks, as this could cause noise or affect video images
Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use benzene, paint thinner or other agents that could damage the surface.
Dust or grime on the top cover can be removed with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.
If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, condensation inside the unit may occur, resulting in moisture on the internal mechanism or an inserted disc, thus impairing proper operation.
Even when the power is turned off, the following settings are retained.
Should this occur, leave the player turned on for one or two hours so that the condensation can evaporate before you begin operation.
Also, please remove all discs from the unit if it will be moved, or not operated for an extended period of time.
≠ Playback mode
≠ Time display mode
≠ Auto ready ON/OFF
≠ Auto cue ON/OFF
≠ Pitch control value
≠ All menu settings

TASCAM CD-01U/CD-01UPro

1 - Introduction ΠEnvironmental considerations
Use the rack-mounting kit to mount the unit in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, as shown below.
Remove the feet of the unit before mounting.
If you are mounting the unit in a rack, leave 1U of space above it and 10cm (4 in) or more of space at the rear. The CD-01U/CD-01U Pro can be mounted in any angle between 0 to 90 degrees.
SeeEnvironmental considerationson the previous page.
The CD-01U/CD-01U Pro have been designed for the playback of CD-DA format discs and MP3 files recorded in ISO9660 format. In addition to ordinary 5-inch and
3-inch CDs, it can also play properly recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs.
When removing a CD from its case, press down on the center of the disc holder to free the CD, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
≠ Removing a disc
≠ Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warping could result.
≠ Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint pen.
≠ Please do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.
≠ Hold the CD like this
≠ Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (opposite the label side). When cleaning, wipe gently with a soft cloth from the center towards the outside edge. Dust and grime may cause skipping, so keep discs clean and store them in their cases when not being played.
≠ Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface.
≠ Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to skip.
≠ Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-cir cular promotional, etc. discs.
≠ The CD-01U/CD-01U Pro cannot play unfinalized
CD-R/RW discs.
≠ Do not use a C-thru disc.
The unit does not support a C-thru disc. Therefore, you may not be able to insert a C-thru disc or may not be able to remove a C-thru disc that has been successfully inserted to the unit.
In the latter case, try to press the DISPLAY and
EJECT keys simultaneously, which may solve the problem.
≠ Do not use the DualDisc. DualDisc is two-sided playback only discs. Insertion or ejection of a DualDisc into/from CD-01U/CD-01U Pro is likely to cause scratches to the surface of the DualDisc. Scratched discs may not play in CD products.
A DualDisc may not play in CD-01U/CD-01U Pro and a DualDisc could get stuck in and may not be able to be removed from the CD-01U/CD-01U Pro.

2 - Remote control unit
≠ When the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time, please remove the batteries to prevent the possibility of battery acid leakage which could damage the unit.
Should leakage occur, remove and discard the batteries, and wipe the battery case thoroughly with a cloth.
Avoid getting the battery liquid on the skin. After cleaning, replace with new batteries.
≠ The remote control functions by using an infrared light signal. When using the unit to control the CD-
01U/CD-01U Pro, other devices that are turned on could be operated by its signal.
≠ If the range of remote operation becomes smaller, or commands do not always function properly, the batteries have become weak and should be replaced.
Always replace both batteries with new batteries of the same type.
≠ Point the remote control to the remote sensor on the main unit.
Do not obstruct the path between the remote control and the remote sensor.
If batteries are used improperly, or if leakage or breakage occurs, the unit will not function.
Please observe the cautions indicated on the batteries and their packaging to ensure proper usage.
≠ Confirm + and - polarity and follow the indications when inserting new batteries into the remote control.
≠ Do not use old and new batteries together.
≠ Even if the battery is the same size, the voltage may differ.
Do not use batteries of different specifications together.
≠ Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are nonrechargeable.
≠ Do not open or disassemble batteries, throw them into a fire or put them in water.
1. Open the lid.
2. Confirm +/- polarity, and insert two AAA batteries.
3. Close the lid.
